Wireless LAN Notes If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur when using the camera with a wireless LAN, try the following corrective actions. Access Point and Antenna Installation Location When using indoors, install the device in the same room that you are shooting. Install the device higher than the camera. Install the device where people or objects do not come between it and the camera. Install the device as close to the camera as possible. In particular, note that during outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection. Nearby Electronic Devices If the transmission rate of a wireless LAN drops because of the influence of the following electronic devices, stop using them or establish a connection further away from them. The camera communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11b/ g/n using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmission rate may drop if there are microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band nearby. If a Wi-Fi device on the same frequency band as the camera is used nearby, the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop. Notes for Using Multiple Cameras When connecting multiple cameras to one access point, make sure that the cameras' IP addresses are different. When multiple cameras are connected to one access point, the transmission rate drops. When there are multiple IEEE 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2 and 7, or channels 3 and 8. 164
